发明名称 Disabling operation of features on a mobile communication device based upon location
摘要 Methods and devices for implementing subsystem or functional aspect restrictions on a wireless handheld communication device. Data defining geographical boundaries of a restricted operating area is stored on the device. The present position of the device is ascertained and a determination is made whether the device is located within the restricted operating area. A restriction on the subsystem or functional aspect is imposed when it is determined the device is within the restricted operating area. The subsystem or functional aspect restriction can be communicated to the device via a wireless communication network. Additionally, the restrictions and boundaries can be communicated to the device as part of an IT security policy.

主权项 1. A wireless communication device, said device comprising: a radiofrequency transceiver for receiving policy settings for at least two subsystems of the device; a memory storing data defining geographical boundaries of a restricted area and said memory also storing data defining a functional restriction imposed on the wireless communication device relative to the restricted area; a position determiner that receives position information that defines a present geographical position of the device and determines whether the device is presently located in the restricted area based on a comparison to the geographical boundaries of the restricted area stored in memory; and a controller that adapts a functionality of the device based on the determination of whether the device is presently located in the restricted area.
